MIND MANAGEMENT (1)...... Above all else, guard your heart. Proverbs 4:23 NIV...... we hear a lot these days about time management, financial management and weight management -- but what about mind management? Shouldnt we be more concerned about managing our minds than managing anything else? Jesus was. He guarded the gateway of His heart by refusing to concede in three areas: (1) The agenda of people who wanted to use Him for their own purposes. Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make Him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by Himself (John 6:15 NIV). Most of us would delight in the idea of becoming king. Even if we refused the crown, wed enjoy considering the invitation! Not Jesus. (2) The naivete of those who wanted to spare Him. When Jesus announced His death on the cross to the disciples. Peter objected. And when he failed to see the necessity of the cross, Jesus issued one of His harshest rebukes: Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men (Matthew 16:23 NIV). (3) The scorn of those who didnt know Him or believe in Him. Before raising a girl from the dead, Jesus said to the people in the house, She is only sleeping (Luke 8:52 GNT). And what was their response? They laughed at Him. Like all of us, Jesus had to face scorn. But unlike most of us, He refused to accept it. Note His response: He...put them all outside (Mark 5:40 NKJV). Doubt, criticism and scorn werent allowed in the girls house -- or in the mind of Christ. How about your mind?
